Quotation source

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram,

 

About a month ago a friend sent me a quotation without a source. I would

appreciate very much knowing when, where, or if our beloved Swami said the

following:

 

‘When you said “Yes” to Me, you gave up the right to be like everyone else.

That is why you draw experiences to yourself that will cleanse yourself of

that which does not fit who you are. Over and over, again and again, until

I make you see that the past no longer works. I challenge you and tempt you

every day with your past, so that you may see that the past is the ultimate

delusion. When you said “yes” to Me you gave Me your body, your thoughts

and your actions. When they don’t suit the new you, the uncomfortable-ness

is unbearable. It will be so EVERY time and when you realize this fully,

then and only then will you completely give up desire. For this is the only

way man will learn. Very seldom does he learn by quiet reminders. Man’s

desires and pitfalls are placed there so that I may do My work. When you

give up totally, then the temptations will fade. I will never give up on

your. Every slip will become harder and harder to bear and less easy to

remedy. You will tire of your foolishness because I love you and though not

completely aware of it, you did say “Yes”.

 

Thank you very much.
